Re: help picking car
if i had a choice...i'd get the 240sx for sure. The older supras are peices of crap. Handle like boats, aren't very fast and IMO don't look that great...too similar to the older probes which were the biggest peices of sh!! on earth!

Re: help picking car
I would second, errr third the 240SX idea. S13s are aight, but if you find an S14.5 + RB20DET or even a SR20DET, that would be the bomb.
13s flat east bro, plus too many aftermarket mods and stuff available too.

Re: help picking car
I would go for the 240 sx but if i was to buy a difrent car i would take a Subaru SVX a 92 more precise, they have no speed governer in that year-model. Its not a "sporty" car but it's AWD , has a porsche designed engine and can put up with any car............ on the highway.
But hey, go for then 240sx if u wnat to do swaps and mods.

Re: help picking car
240, s14, why not shoot for rb26??!!??!! heehee
s14 no matter what, feel they look the best of them all.
the rb25 is from the skyline i believe...
and yes, a skyline gtr motor from a r33 can be done. the rb26dett was put into a 240(car was lost, do a search for lil gtr on our forums) or try lilgtr.com out. its been down for a while now, and asking him he doesnt know when itll be back up but this car was a work of art. actually took best of show at HIN chicago oct 4th and IGN.com had a huge write up on it trough out the build so check it out. also his buddy did a rhd conversion to a 240 that was at HIN chicago on august. these cars set the bench mark for us to shoot for in our area...

Re: help picking car
the RB20DET, RB25DET and RB26DETT are all Skyline motors, the first 2 are from GTS-T models and the last is a GT-R model.
